Checked by a person
Every application is read by a person and held for at least 24 hours. We read who you are, the club, league or ladder it happens at, and roughly how often and at what level.
- Held at least 24 hours, no instant approvals
- Approved: the console opens, with every feature
- Declined: you are told why, and can apply again
Bring in the one you already run
Already halfway through, on a spreadsheet or in a WhatsApp group? Create the event, mark it in progress, and upload the entrant list you have. Rows we cannot read come back one at a time with a suggested fix in the box. Players with no My Pila account are imported anyway, and their verified results wait for them.

What running one looks like
| Three weeks out | Create the event and cap the level. Venue, date, format, fee, and a band window, say D+ up to C+. The cap applies when people enter, so there's nothing to argue about on the day. Publish and it's on the public tournament list the same minute. |
|---|---|
| Entries open | Entries, partners and a waitlist that runs itself. A pair enters together, or one player enters and invites their partner by link. Once you are full the next entry joins a waitlist, and when someone withdraws the top of it is promoted and told. |
| The week before | Lay out the draw in one pass. Choose the format, how many courts you have and how long a round takes. The scheduler lays the rounds out and tells you when the last match finishes. If anything moves, one message reaches every entrant. |
| On the day | Score it courtside, signal or no signal. Two taps a set from the phone in your hand. If the venue drops out, scores queue on the device and send themselves when it comes back. The public live board updates for everyone watching from the café. |
| Afterwards | Results settle, then do it again next month. Each scoreline goes to the pair on the other side of the net to countersign. Once it is confirmed it is final. Next month’s event starts as a copy of this one: same format, same courts, same band window, new date. |
Results turn into ratings
A scoreline you enter goes to your opponents to countersign. Only a countersigned result moves anybody’s number.

Eleven minutes, one Saturday. The scoreline and the names are an illustration.
Nothing is edited after the fact.
A confirmed result is final for everyone, including you. A wrong one is corrected in the open, as a new entry.
Players are rated from their first verified result.
One of your club nights gives a first-timer a rating from day one.
